Personally, I love cheese plays. Obviously not constant cheese play. But in high stakes like this one it makes the game more exciting and tense. Its up to the attacking player/strategy that it works, and up to the defending player that it doesnt. It requieres big balls, big ass brain to play such mind games, and great skills to be able to pull it against one of the best players. Usually it comes down to the last unit and requires precise micro.
Just to put it into perspective: MVP used multiple cheeses to take out naniwa at GSL. And Leenock aswell at MLG Providence.
Better example? GSL Finals? Game 7? MVP vs Squirtle? I hated it because I was rooting for Squirtle, but the game was so tense and close and back n forth and exciting and on its own way an epic ending to such series. And unfortunately it was Squirtle's mistake which made him loose the game. And thats that.
Cheese are cool.

The point is: cheese is part of the game and the one Naniwa used agaisnt Jaedong was pretty clever.

Totally agree. Every win for Naniwa was well-deserved. Any other "cheesey" foreigners would have been crushed anyway.

Considering it was a cheese vs. cheese the entire point by Thor.Rush is moot. Jaedong used an econ cheese opening to blindly counter Nani's style, as he did on the previous game. That game was not decided by cheese but by mind games. Plastic League players will never understand this, and like IdrA, always rage against people who actually vary their play.

I think they would have cheesed at least one of their games during the entire tourney. Didn't Nestea use the Spine rush in a game ages ago? And used the 10 Pool pull drones versus hatch first?

I really liked it. You should get help with the audio editing because levels are really off at times. Also the ending was kinda anti-climatic. But otherwise a really good movie!

Naniwa is such a great player.
But why does he rarely write "gg" when he lefts a game?
Is it TLOs fault that swarm hosts exist?

But why. TLO just said on skype that
he feels that "Naniwa is the better player right now".
I know that TLO is way over good mannered but TLO
played just better in the series so why couldn`t Naniwa
just tolerate that?

I would like to cheer for Nani in the future just because
he is one of the best foreigners right now...
